Walsh ‘no’ to Cork hurlers

ALL STAR Cork footballer Aidan Walsh knocked back an offer to join up with the county hurlers this year.

The Kanturk club man enjoyed a fantastic football season last year with starring displays in both the All-Ireland and Allianz League finals. But he’s a talented hurler too and performed a dual role at underage level, winning Munster titles for Cork in both grades. He was at yesterday’s launch of the Cadbury’s U21 football championship and intends playing for the county team in the U21 hurling championship also.

However, he rejected the chance of taking that dual role onto senior level this year when hurling boss Denis Walsh made contact with him over winter.
